January 27, Enterprise Island, Antarctica

I have no photos for today out on the zodiac!   Left my camera charging in the suite!  Perhaps I can add some later, as Sandi did have her phone with her! Sandi and I (John chose a stay-in day) went out in a zodiac in a region that is referred to as "Whale Soup"!   There were Humpback Whales everywhere.   Our Expedition Team guide felt that we should take this opportunity to just whale watch, and not worry about any birds or penguins.   We all agreed - eight of us.  There were at least a dozen whales in the water all around us.   There are rules as to how closely we can approach them.   At one point our guide turned off the motor of the zodiac, and we just watched and listened.  An odd assortment of sounds as they fed, swam, dove to display flukes and entertain us with their grace.   Here again, there are no words.  I will forever remember the quiet stillness as we watched and listened to the whales.   So memorable.

Friday, November 1, 2019 - Port Antonio, Jamaica

Friday, November 1, 2019 - Port Antonio, Jamaica Port Antonio is the capital of the parish of Portland on the northeastern coast of Jamaica, about 60 miles from Kingston.  It is the island's third largest port, famous as a shipping point for bananas and coconuts, as well as one of its most important tourist attractions, tourism being a major contributor to the town's economy.  Port Antonio was a settlement first established in Spanish Jamaica, when it was known as Puerto Anton.  Portland formally became a parish in 1723 by order of the Duke of Portland, then Governor of Jamaica after whom it is named.  The existing port was to be called Port Antonio and was slated to become a naval stronghold.  To that end, by 1729, the British began to build Fort George on the peninsula separating the twin East and West harbors, known as the Titchfield promontory.  The fort was intended to protect settlers from attacks by the Spanish from the sea, and the Maroons (r...

January 17 and 18 - Cruising the Chilean Fjords and El Brujo Glacier

Image
I love days at sea.  The hours of the day go by in a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.   The only challenge is to keep one's balance as we traverse the ship.   We've hit a few rocky patches, but not that has sent me to bed! Can't remember if I've already told this, but have decided to try acupuncture while on the ship.   Will have ten sessions, mostly targeting the swelling in my left ankle (from the surgery).   Have so far had three sessions.   They are not painful, last approximately 45 minutes, and then I'm once again on my way.   Am hopeful that this will turn around the swelling that has plagued me since my ankle replacement surgery a little over one year ago. Yesterday, while John was at the gym, he began sending texts.   Our ship "celebrity" seems to turn up wherever we are, so John continues his sightings.   The celebrity's name has evolved from Dick Rickles, to Rickie Dickles.   This falls more trippingly off the tongue, especiall...
